Mike Love aka BigFatLove GoFundMe

[Sir SkratchaLot]

One of our longtime members, BigFatLove, suffered a stroke back in the spring and the Beastie Boys Collection set up a GoFundMe page for him.

Here is the link:

For those who don't know, Mike was very involved with BeastieMania.com (well before Discogs was a go-to place) and was instrumental in tracking down and cataloging many rare Beastie Boys releases. I'm talking about some of the really really rare stuff that it's amazing it's even seen the light of day (show vinyl, early demos, etc). I've dealt with him for years and years and he's just a really genuine and generous person who has a passion for the band and their catalogue. The amount of work he has put into sharing information with the world at large is amazing.

Please consider donating or just sending him positive thoughts.

I hope this sort of thing is okay to post here. If not, I apologize.

Donated. I can't count the amount of times I have used or referenced beastiemania.com over the past 20 years. A great site and resource. I don't know of another fan site like it.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Mike. Thank you for all your hard work and efforts over the years!
